5th year at Hogwarts
My plane landed two hours ago, from Slovakia in Birmingham. The cab driver is very young and is kind enough to drive me all the way to London. I get out at the leaky cauldron and pay him extra for his time.

I push open the grimy glass doors and the familiar smell of burning oak brings back the old memories, of walking in here for the first time. I notice a tall wizard standing by the fire, wearing full hiking gear, his golden hair, tousled and out of place, reflects the firelight. I slip in and out of the chairs making my way towards him.

"How were your travels, Ms. Haven?" Xavier asks, a French accent comes out, keeping up the charade, not turning his head towards me, but continuing to gaze into the fire.

"They were... uneventful. Yours?" I ask, keeping my French accent as well. He turns his head towards me and I notice a freshly cut lip and a few rips in his pants. My hand waves in front of his face, the busted lip heals and the bruises vanish, I rest my hand on his cheek and give him a small smile, he leans in to the touch placing his hand over mine, pulling it down to his lips he give my hand a soft kiss.

"Absolutely ridiculous! I don't know how something can be so stubborn, crude and just out right mean all at once!" He whisper yells. "Oh by the way, I like the blue hair." He winks at me, brushing a lock of it behind my ear.

"Oh come on, we have to get to the safe house before dinner." I drag him through the hallway and into my hotel room, where a portkey lies neatly on the bed, in the form of a tattered old book-bag.

"They can wait..." He grabs my waist and spins me around, whilst grabbing my ass and picking me up, I wrap my legs around his waist and his lips find mine. "I've missed you." He whispers against my neck and a moan escapes my lips.

"Oh I've missed you too." He kisses down my neck and finds a sweet spot where I gasp and I feel him harden. "We should... mm... go..." I bite my lip to stop myself from moaning again.

"Yeah... we.. should.." He continues to kiss back up my neck and to my lips. He places me gently on the ground and picks up the book.

After I grab the portkey, and the world starts to spin out of focus. We stick the landing, on our feet, in the middle of a small courtyard. After walking on the sidewalk a ways, we find houses 11 and 13, Xavier taps his foot silently on the pavement. Slowly but surely a house, number 12 appears, we walk through the dark entrance.

We are instantly hit by the dust looming in every corner. after we set our things down next to the door, he leads us slowly through the long hallway. "This house is giving me the creeps." I see him visibly shake. I laugh and then stop dead in my tracks, hearing something, "What?" Xavier stops walking and comes back to my side. His eyes skittering everywhere trying to find an enemy to attack.

"Nothing... just thought I heard something." I keep my eyes glue to a spot on the stairs. I could have sworn I saw a mess of black hair and three puffs of red hair.

"Quit messing with me" he shoves my shoulder staring at the stairs, "Come on. Before the meeting is over, and we get yelled at again for being 'to childish for our own good'!" He grabs my hand and drags me along. I pull my hand away and then jump onto his back. He catches me gracefully and then puts me down just as we reach the kitchen door.

"We can't bring Harry into this he is just a boy!" Hushed whispers sound from through the door.

"What do you think Kai and Rosa are? And yet they are here, fighting, with us!" Sirius shouts back.

"They are more powerful than all of those kids combined!" A third voice, male voice, reasons.

"Should we knock?" I ask Xavier, he just shrugs. As I reach up to knock, the door opens quickly.
